50 guests' feedbackThe house and room are very tastefully furnished and everything we craved after a long drive was available. Decent wine glasses, milk in a carafe in the fridge, coffee in a flask (not a tear open bag). Special washcloths in the bathroom for make-up. Shampoo and body wash from the store, not the usual ones you get in guest houses. Winter bedding and a top class mattress! The house is almost right next to the Swartberg Hotel and very centrally located. Secure parking. I cannot rave about this gem. We will for sure stay there every time we tour beautiful Prince Albert.
Very nice stay, beautiful place and garden. Walking distance to all the restaurants and shops.
Perfectly located and spotlessly clean. The host was very helpful in recommending places to eat, which were outstanding. Following recent heavy rains, we needed guidance on the state of the Swartberg Pass and roads in the area, which the host went out of their way to enquire about. As we were short of time, this was invaluable in planning our trip.
We enjoyed our stay and the accommodation was top-class.
Very nice stay. Might prefer a "self-catering" unit next time. But the place is very neat and close to a lot of nice restaurants and attractions.
An electric blanket would have helped ward off the winter chill. Friendly host. No breakfast was included, but nice biscuits and tea and coffee making facilities.
Johan is a warm host and makes you feel very much at home. His tips for places to eat and things to do in town added to the experience.
It met all our needs and highly recommend it. The pool is a great asset.
Johan is an incredible host. We felt at home as soon as we stepped in. Rooms are beautiful and very neat. Located right on the main street.
Very comfortable, the garden rooms are special.
Host was helpful and friendly. Rooms clean and tidy. Location is 110% walking distance from als. Will definitely stay there again and highly recommend.
It was one of the best visits I have ever experienced. Many thanks to the owner and his team.
Johan is the perfect host, his rooms are immaculate and they must be the most comfortable beds in the world.
Just a wonderful place with the most beautiful garden.
Absolutely amazing experience! The property is well maintained and like a small oasis hidden in the garden! Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Spacious, cozy room with a nice sunny veranda overlooking a beautiful green, colorful garden. Nice pool. Friendly host.
The host was helpful and interested.
The Spekbook cottage is beautifully appointed, with high quality linen. The outdoor shower is amazing! The gardens are so tranquil and the perfect place to escape the outside world. We felt very welcome.
Very cute place, neat and well located. We had a lovely time in Prince Albert. Thank you Johan.
Beautiful old house. Just feel that for the price breakfast should be included. Well located and tidy.
We booked rooms which we were under the impression were facing a pool and lovely courtyard. We were given a room facing the street. No pool and no courtyard and had to park our car in the street.
We were very kindly welcomed by the owner Johan. After he showed us the room, we had a lovely chat with him in his beautiful garden. Comfortable place, great location, will stay there again if we are in the county.
Spacious unit with its own veranda overlooking a beautiful garden. Wonderfully relaxing in a peaceful atmosphere in beautiful Prince Albert.
Johan made us feel very welcome and it is a beautiful guest house.
A friend and I were there for two days and Johan was an incredible host. The place is neat and clean I would highly recommend the place. We will definitely go back again.
The self-catering unit is very well appointed and beautiful, clean and neat. Our host was friendly, thoughtful, helpful but professional. The location makes it easy to walk across the street or eat next door. We were more than happy with everything and would highly recommend it.
Room was spacious and had thoughtful touches. The owner was friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend this establishment. Very much recommended - we would definitely stay here again.
Johan, the owner, went out of his way to make us comfortable. The house is beautiful and clean. It is in the centre of Prince Albert near all the restaurants, galleries etc.
Neat guest house located on the main street and within walking distance of restaurants and other attractions.
Homely atmosphere, clean and tidy. Owner himself involved.
The accommodation was as described. The pool area could possibly be beautified a bit.
Friendly and helpful host. The room and bathroom are neat, clean and beautifully decorated.
It starts with the warm and friendly welcome from Johan, the spacious and comfortable room and the very central location of Mai's because everything is within walking distance of the lodge.
Neat but a bit old.
The guesthouse is well located, very neat, beautiful pool, our room was spacious, enough privacy, breakfast was delicious and is served indoors or outside. Hostess is very helpful with any requests, was a great 3 days, we enjoyed it a lot.
Mai is a kind women and the ladies that helped her are friendly. She looked well after us. We felt like we're family.
The reception and hospitality quickly make you feel at home. The rooms are well equipped and the breakfast is tasty. It's a cozy atmosphere.
We really enjoyed our stay at Mai's Guest Lodge. The place is ideally located in the main road and within walking distance of restaurants and other tourist attractions. Our room was very nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. The en-suite bathroom is also spacious with a lovely shower and enough hot water. Mai, the owner is an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. On the morning of our arrival she started sending messages, telling us to drive safely and also offered to make dinner reservations at one of the restaurants in the area. Our room included breakfast, which Mai supervises personally. From the personally curled butter (no plastic tubs) to the last bite everything was very tasty and beautifully presented. I would refer Mai's Guest Lodge with an open heart to anybody.
Very historic building and good overnight experience.
Had a warm welcome and we enjoyed staying over. Beautiful town with a unique atmosphere. A lovely place to stay over.
Mai is an amazing host - we felt at home and had a great stay in a clean and neat room with delicious breakfast. Prins Albert is 'n stunning place, we will be back.
Mai is the best host, she is so friendly and helpful! She also serve the best breakfast in town! We will definitely stop in Prins Albert again and we will certainly stay at Mai's!
With the warm reception and the friendly hostess, we immediately felt at home. The house was a cool refreshment after we experienced extreme heat of 41 degrees on the road. Everything was neat and clean, and the bedding very fresh. The location was perfect to walk through the town to see everything. Mai's Guest Lodge is also right next to, what it looks like, the best restaurant in Prince Albert. The breakfast was also excellent and really a quiet atmosphere outside in the garden. Prince Albert and Mai will definitely see us again.
Very nice, clean and comfortable accommodation. Affordable. Well located. Delicious breakfast.
We had a warm welcome by the most friendly owner. Mai is a treat. Accommodation was excellent. The breakfast was the best.
We enjoyed the stay so very much, clean, luxurious and very friendly. She is an excellent hostess.
Mai's Guest Lodge was an experience. The house is beautiful, rooms comfortable and Mai, someone I had to get to know in my life. The breakfast was just as delicious and Mai did everything to make it a pleasant visit for us. Many thanks Mai, we will come say hello again when we are in those regions.
From the overwhelmingly warm welcome upon entering to the last 'cow bay', we felt like we were visiting our favorite aunt. Mai immediately made us feel welcome and at home. The breakfast every morning was not only top notch, but we felt privileged to be able to enjoy it under the grape arbor. The rooms are very well equipped, tidy and the bedding was lovely to sleep in - our room has a lovely shower. Even though it was terribly hot in Prince Albert, Mai's house was always wonderfully cool, even with the windows open - don't know how she manages it. Mai's laugh is infectious and is always ready with a good story and ready to hear one. So I can go on and on. What a great vacation at Mai's Guest Lodge... even if it was only two days!
Stunning house built in 1835, but with good amenities and spacious rooms. Delicious breakfast and no one leaves the table hungry. Parking available in main road in front of the house. Old Karoo town feeling surrounds you when you walk through the streets.
Auntie Mai went out of her way to make sure we had the best stay possible. Without being pushy she maintained contact. Personal attention to ensure that the breakfast order was on the numbers and all expectations were exceeded. The unit was spacious, clean and tastefully laid out. The central air conditioning keeps the hot summer days at bay. The veranda is perfect for morning coffee and the courtyard where breakfast is served is something very special. Prince Albert has many other places to stay that look fantastic, but Mai's is where we will stay again next time.
